Hello everyone,
So anybody that knows me knows how active I am with ride share issues.
I have closely followed and participated in all ride share sectors.
I have driven on the platform, I have managed vehicles on the platform and I have used it as a rider.
I have written a book about Uber and blog about the company constantly. It's safe to say that I have been closely involved with Uber since they came to Nigeria.

I have been referring people to the Uber referral program since 2016.
The referral program is for partners who refer other partners and when the people referred get to 50 trips with their cars, Uber pays the referrer 10,000.
I have referred more than 50 people to the program and at least 10 have gone on to become successful referrals.
So imagine my surprise when it turns out it seems they are trying to scam me by claiming I am trying to scam them, simply because they don't want to pony up my money.
I went to their office to ask why my referral earnings have not been paid and they claim I have been blocked since April 2018. Which is a blatant lie as I have referred and received referral earnings even this year.
They claim that my referrals get to 50 trips (which is the requirement) but never get to hundred trips, the lady said because of this I must be fraudulent because "why don't my referrals get to 100 trips". I reminded her that the threshold is 50.
I'm writing this to let everyone know that is seems Uber is engaging in fraudulent activities by withholding my funds while claiming I am fraudulent.
I am writing this to let everyone know not to participate in the Uber partner referral program because they will find an arbitrary reason not to pay you eventually.
Cheers,
Taxi App Guy.

GAZZUZZ:
did you drive through Flooded water? Did you include flood in your insurance cover?

Cooladex:

Like 3 hours of that time was spent with my ignition off. Waiting for her tho. So I did not really waste much fuel.

MoonlightDrive:
I have been having problem with my iphone touch screen since last week, i cannot call client to clarify their locations and it is important to clarify especially in places you are not familiar with, the GPS can sometimes be unreliable or take you through a longer route to the riders' pickup point. So i will wait until the client calls, some clients will just refuse to call and send sms messages through the uber platform, but also because of the touch screen issue i could not respond to their sms. Last week i got a notice that my account had been flagged for fraudulent activities, it is a shame that a driver with over 400+ 5 star trips, could be treated in such manner, i would have expected uber to have first gotten in touch with me as to what could be the problem.
I have since replaced my iphone touch screen and all system are good to go, sadly uber has judged me as guilty without recourse to a fair hearing.
I am omitted from the promo and lumped up with the Sakamanje crew and chop Cancellation fee crew.
What really is the value of all this 5 stars rating we get from riders, since Uber does not use it in taking decisions.
I believe a staff of uber would read this and bring up this issue at their meeting.
i hope Lyft would soon start business in Lagos... this will guarantee that drivers are treated with respect by both bolt and uber.

You don't want to know the pain that comes with driving your own car on ehailing

I've carried some one from union bank oba akran Ikeja to Thomas estate 4900 and I was satisfied with it. It was on a Sunday. So I believe the fare you got was correct.

TheCar:


Do not encourage her to jump ship immediately.

A steady pay-check every month no be moin moin.

Also she need to test the waters before jumping ship.

1. She need to test how "manageable" is her car for the day-to-day operation. She claimed to be a banker, so I think the vehicle need to be stress test before venturing out. Maybe she rent out the car for like 3-5 months to see if it breakdown or not. Bankers only drive early in the morning and late at night, so during the day their cars are not working. The car need some serious test run on Uber/Bolt operation.

2. Driving for a living isn't easy. The last time I was stucked behind the wheels for 9 hours commuting from Lagos to Ibadan was the day I truly respect EVERY PERSON DRIVING FOR A LIVING. Men, I didn't drive my car for next 5 days after the journey. Now imagine doing that on a daily basis.

3. She is leaving a "SANE" environment for "UNSANE" environment. Pardon my French. LASTMA, VIO, AIRPORT DRIVERS, DANFO DRIVERS do not harass her in her banking hall but would do when she start.

I would recommend, you guide her before she jump the ship.

A child doesn't just start running, a child need to crawl, take the first baby step, walk, before thinking about running.

Well Done to Everyone.
